Chapter 29 County Government
That officer and soldier was fighting with all his might, and it couldn’t last long.
When a third person joins, it is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Dozens of breaths later, the soldier was hacked to death by the three members of Lu Yuan's team.
After a short breath, the three soldiers all bowed and clasped their fists towards Lu Yuan and said:
"Thank you, Captain, for saving my life!"
They all had some shame on their faces at this time.
The captain of the garrison had seen the disadvantage of the three of them and asked for help from the two officers.
If the captain hadn't acted quickly and decisively, he would have taken care of the village chief.
Not only would they die, but the captain would also be killed.
Now, these three guys who are holding back the team still need the captain’s rescue to survive.
How could this not make the three of them ashamed?
Lu Yuan said nothing and picked up the fine iron spear that the village chief had dropped on the ground.
After several blows with the twenty-jin fine iron spear, his spear was basically destroyed.
Although this spear is not very handy and feels a little light to use, it is still much better than the wooden spear.
Zhao Zheng would not give him such a spear, so he had to seize it by himself.
After weighing the spear for a few times, he walked out of the yard.
Now that he had completed the task assigned by the army and there was no military supervisor nearby, he naturally would not rush over to fight with those officers and soldiers.
First find a place, get some food and fill your stomach.
If not, then all the food would have to be handed over. According to the actions of the personal soldiers, a large amount of the handed-over food would inevitably be withheld.
Seize this opportunity and fill your stomach while there is chaos.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan walked faster and faster.
The three members of the team naturally followed.
Qingping County Government Office.
The gate of the county government office had been kicked in.
The bodies of officers and soldiers lying on the ground and the remains of bandits were everywhere.
Bright red blood was flowing everywhere.
Even the tall plaque of the county government office was stained with blood.
In the courtyard of the county government office.
There was a river of blood, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
There is almost no place to stay.
At this time, in this county government compound.
The magistrate of Qingping County, with his official hat off and disheveled hair, wearing a dragon robe and with a fat head and big ears, was looking with horror at Zhao Hu, who was grinning and laughing excitedly opposite him, as well as Zhao Zheng and more than ten other sergeants and more than two hundred personal soldiers behind him.
In front of him was a big man with a square face, wearing chain mail and with injuries on his body, who also had disheveled hair.
He was accompanied by a group of probably less than a hundred constables and soldiers wearing rattan and leather armor.
They all drew their swords and spears and confronted Zhao Hu and others.
Zhao Hu looked at the square-faced man and laughed:
"Captain Gu Qu, I never thought that your Qu army only has two hundred soldiers. If I had known this, I should have captured Qingping County long ago. You have wasted so much of my time in vain. Do you know that the days in the mountains were really boring?"
Zhao Hu licked his lips.
His excitement was beyond words at this moment.
According to the official system of the Daqian Dynasty, a Qubu must be equipped with 500 officers and soldiers. Zhao Hu had always believed that the Qubu guarding this place had 500 elite soldiers.
Therefore, all along, when attacking Qingping County, he only dared to rob and run away, for fear that Gu Quchang would lead the 500 elite soldiers to pursue him.
Now, having made up his mind to fight a decisive battle with the opponent, he discovered that the opponent was a paper tiger.
What a shame! There are only two hundred elite soldiers left to guard the garrison.
Although his personal soldiers were not as strong as these elite soldiers from the government, they still numbered more than 300 people.
In addition, these elite soldiers and constables have to deal with his new recruits.
With more than 300 people, they forced the enemy into a desperate situation at the cost of only more than 50 personal soldiers.
Now, as long as we work harder and sacrifice a few dozen more people at most, we will be able to take over Qingping County!
Thinking of the wonderful scene that was about to happen, Zhao Hu showed an evil smile on his face. He surrounded the remaining hundred soldiers and constables, picked up his weapons, and was ready to launch an attack at any time.
"Hey! Zhao Hu!!"
The square-faced Gu Quchang pointed at Zhao Hu and roared.
"What a style the kings of the Tianxing Army have! They killed the white snake and started an uprising. Their slogan at the time of the uprising was to revitalize the world. They only killed corrupt officials and plundered the rich, and did not take a penny from the common people.
As the commander of the Tianxing Army, you actually did what bandits do. After you captured an area in Zhiyuan Prefecture, you burned, killed, raped, and looted, committing all kinds of evil. You are no different from pigs and dogs.
If you do this, you will bring shame to the Tianxing Army! You will bring shame to the kings of the Tianxing Army!
Even if they are from the Tianxing Army, they will never let you go!"
The square-faced Gu Quchang, seeing the other party's expression at this time, knew that the other party wanted to harm the people of Qingping County. Thinking of this, his eyes were bloodshot and he started cursing. He stared at the other party with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to eat the other party's flesh and blood alive.
Now, the whole country is in chaos and uprisings are breaking out in various places. Even most of the soldiers guarding a county have been transferred to various states to fight a decisive battle with the Tianxing Army and various rebel forces.
He hid this news for several months.
The purpose was to confuse Zhao Hu on the mountain and make him afraid to attack.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hu was so bold that he dared to attack Qingping County without knowing the situation.
Now, Qingping County, which was short of military forces, was no match for these bandits. He knew that Qingping County was about to be destroyed and he would die in the battle, so he no longer cared about the rules of the dynasty.
Based on his many years of understanding and impression of the Tianxing Army, he angrily rebuked Zhao Hu.
When Zhao Hu heard that the other party was actually praising Daqian's biggest concern, he immediately said:
"Hahaha, Gu Quzhang, I never thought that a lackey like you could say such a thing. I guess you also know that you have no way out."
Thinking of the impending victory, he said proudly:
“Of course, I am not even one tenth as impressive as the other kings, but I, Zhao Hu, fought my way from Huizhou to Youzhou, with over a thousand personal soldiers. Now, there are less than three hundred left.
If I, Zhao Hu, had not been capable enough to let my brothers eat fat meat, seize wealth and enjoy the ultimate happiness in the world, I am afraid that my brothers' hearts would have been scattered long ago.
Without my brothers, I would have died in Youzhou. How could the kings blame me?
Now, I have even killed hundreds of elite soldiers and lackeys of the imperial court in one fell swoop. Even if the kings knew about these trivial matters, I believe they would not blame me. "
After saying this, he looked at the square-faced Qu Chang happily and said arrogantly:
"Gu Quzhang, are these all your last words?
In that case, how about just accepting death?"
When Zhao Hu was about to issue an order to kill all the people in this place, the fat and big-eared Qingping County Magistrate knelt on the ground with a plop, begging for mercy with tears streaming down his face:
"Master Zhao! Please spare me!
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you!
There are thousands of gold and silver in my treasury, you can take them as you like.
There are also fifteen concubines in my backyard. The youngest is twelve years old and the oldest is no more than thirty.
If you want, I will call them out now. They will definitely be willing to serve Lord Zhao!
I only ask Lord Zhao to give me a chance to live! ! "
